Autumn’s Approaching

One more day of light
Soon, autumn’s fury descends
The callous winter

A Monday Dose Of Positive Energy

Filled with potential
Vibrant, manic energy
Another Monday

I hope your Monday launches you into an amazing week.

Change The World: A Haiku

Make the world better

Seeking out what causes pain

Work on healing that

Thursday morning in Seattle

​A cold, dark morning

Covers provide resistance

Though I must rise now

Grab happiness now

Sadness is lurking
Eventually it will spring
Grab happiness now


Sadness is always nearby. Don’t wait to grab happiness!

Freedom: Speech vs Lunch

Both lunches and speech
They are striving to be free
Each in its own way


I’ve thought about the intersection of these two conceptions of freedom for some time. Working on capturing the subtle distinctions between the two ideas. 

I love all this interest in manual typewriters

I find this new love
With manual typewriters
Deeply endearing

Awoke to rains rage
Where I’d resist the outdoors
I’m safe on my couch



I’m a product of Seattle. So much time in the rain, it defines me. I remember a moment, so many years ago, sitting in my apartment, looking out over Seattle with coffee and a good book. With nowhere I needed to go, nor be, I sat in the window bay watching the rain splatter upon the glass, gravity writing it’s magic. 

I Feed In The Darkness

I feed in darkness 

Wander the night, consuming 

Chocolate fears me
